Ingredients

• Cooking spray

• 1 cup water

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 2 small chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced (adjust for desired heat)

• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

• ½ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed is best

• 2 tsp molasses

• 1 packet or tsp no sodium beef (yes beef) broth powder/bouillon

• 1 lbs. chicken breast

• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard

• 8 corn tortillas

• Optional Toppings: avocado, diced onion, salsa, cheese, lime wedges

Instructions

1. Whisk together flavor: In a small bowl, combine orange juice, broth, molasses and water.

2. Sizzle & simmer: Spray a saucepan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chipotle chiles and garlic, cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Add the liquid love: Pour in the broth mixture and bring to a simmer. Add chicken and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.

4. Shred & stir: Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pan and stir in Dijon mustard and cilantro.

5. Reduce & relish: Simmer briefly to thicken the sauce, about 5 minutes.

6. Warm & assemble: Warm tortillas (oven preferred to crisp them up) and fill with chipotle chicken mixture. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, top with your favorite toppings and savor the low-sodium fiesta!

Tips:

• Serve with your favorite low-sodium taco toppings like chopped avocado, salsa, and lime wedges.

• Leftovers? Store cooled chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Want extra protein? Use unsalted black beans or chickpeas instead of chicken for a vegetarian twist.
